EDITORIAL Greetings to all our readers. As we head down the road to Xmas I guess you are all frantically trying to get stuff done before the break. It has been an odd year for us humans. It has probably been a great year for our fishy friends though. It’s all coming up Rainbows. Let us hope they enjoyed the respite of fishing pressure and have multipled and grown fat. Next season hold all sorts of promises. Talking of promises…your editorial team has been hard at work assembling this edition. A task we took on over three years ago. Look the pay is bad…well nonexistent really, however we have managed with the odd advert to keep the ship afloat. This magazine is for you and about you. Don’t be shy to submit a story to us for consideration. The only real non-negotiable is good images. For the non-technical guys if the picture shows multiple Mb …its good for us! Why don’t you take some time over the Xmas holidays to write something for us. We would love to hear from you. When you do get a moment in the festive madness you can read about the great fishing locations be have right here in South Africa. I’ve a friend that loves lists. Lists for his rods, lists for his reels, oh… and lists for his spare lines too! He sends out lists of kit to pack, lists of what food is planned on the trip and whom must buy what. We may not all be as organised as him but take the time to plan your next year’s fishing now. Some trips are extremely popular and book up quickly. I can tell you that planning is the only way to ensure you do get out fishing. To all our content contributers, thank you for your support. To our advertisers, without you this magazine would not be possible. Thank you. Lastly all the very best for Christmas and the New Year from all of us at SA Flyfishing magazine. Enjoy Andrew
